"We are using the dashboards to daily track three
key productivity measures at team levels. This allows us to perform
visual trending analysis very, very quickly and determine if or where we
might need to refocus our attention.
"Typically, these measures would have been reviewed at month-end,
so having this capability keeps us from potentially wasting 1/12th of a
year before we identify potential unfavorable trends.
"Needless to say,
our Management Team loves these dashboards!"

e-book is an unbelievable value
for the price I paid.

Fortune 200 company has paid consultants and programmers hundreds of

Charley's
ideas deliver.
"They're fully customizable, fully adaptable to your business...the way
you need your information.
"The key to great business decisions is the management and reporting of
data. Charley provides the "great reporting" part.

"The book has been great, & has
given me a lot of ideas
about how I could use
dashboards to present a mix of financial and statistical data." Mark Lees, Engineering Manager,
Vitafibres
|
| |
|
| 64 |
"Thought I'd send you a quick email to update you on my progress with
dashboards.
"It must be well over 2 years since I bought your ebook &
samples. At the time I was engineering manager for Vitafibres in the UK (I
think one of my comments is still on your website somewhere!).
"I still think
that dashboard reports are
one of the neatest things I've ever done in
Excel. Initially, I was using a dashboard to report energy usage for monthly
management meetings. I followed on from that by using them to create PPM & TPM summary reports. In all these areas the use of
dashboards saved me hours
& hours of time every month.
"Since then, I've moved on from Vitafibres, but I'm still using dashboards! I
still don't use them to present financial data (I'm an engineer, after
all!), but I still keep finding other uses for them.
"Currently I'm working
on an Excel application to carry out some detailed energy saving analysis.
This application has a lot of VBA code behind it, but I intend to use a
dashboard for the summary section of the customer report. I think that the
main thing that I've learned over the past couple of years is that
you don't need to be a genius or
an excel guru to create dashboards, but the applications are almost
limitless.
"I think that for me, one of the things that brought home the real usefulness
of dashboards was the first one I created. I presented my report at the
monthly management meeting as usual, but this one included my dashboard
report.
"No comment was made during the meeting, but afterwards the
divisional director of the Fibres division came up to me and said something
along the lines of ' that report was excellent, it summarized all the energy
usage in a clear & readable manner, and now I can get a real feel for our
energy usage & expenditure.....but that report must have taken you hours to
produce'........well ok it took me 4 days to create the template, but I
didn't tell him that producing the report just took me just the time it
takes to click 'print'!
"All I can say in closing is keep up the good work!"
Mark Lees,
Control systems engineer

"I have used executive dashboards
created by Charley Kyd at ExcelUser.com for over two years to
consolidate and proactively manage project measures against plan
and forecast for multiple research and development sites around
the world.
"Each of the dashboards is published in a PDF format
to allow a historical reference by project by site and is
available to multiple users to view in the common PDF format.
The visually intuitive reporting designed by Charley Kyd and the
PDF repository work very well together to quickly review
activities and learn from historical trends."
